lyrics

I knew a woman who said I was a mystery
We were talkin’ bout houses and memory
she said we all have a room we keep under lock and key and she gave me a tour, oh it wasn’t for free —
she showed me a piano, and she asked for a song
and I played it all night till the questions were gone

I met Camila at the hotel
We had drinks at the bar things were goin’ well,
She asked if I believed in heaven or hell,
I said, Heaven’s right here, far as I can tell
She said, Love is a game I haven’t played in so long But we played it all night till the questions were gone

I remember when I was just a kid
My brother ran away for weeks on end
And I was up late the night he finally came in,
but the look in his eyes said “don’t ask where I been” He just handed me a record, and I put it on
and we played it all night till the questions were gone
